Do you love reading adventure books with fantastical settings and magical elements? Have you ever wanted to write a story set in a place you’ve never been? Through this workshop, students will understand the layout of the land within their stories, no matter what genre. We will take a look at ancient cultures and how landscape, language, government, and belief systems impact story.

Fiction Fun!
Have you always wanted to write stories? Or written so many stories and don’t know what to do with them? This workshop provides young writers a space to bring forth their creativity, explore new stories, and meet friends with the same passion. We will explore character and plot through a variety of prompts and writing games. Each student will finish off the workshop with a collection of new writing.
July 22-29
9:15-1pm
Theatre, Improv, and Play!
Through movement-based improv games and collaborative writing prompts, students will gain a better understanding of how plays go from the page to the stage. We will learn about character motivations, use of props, scene structure, and the rehearsal process. Students will end the workshop with a performance to showcase.
